[Intro]
C Am C Am
[Verse 1]
C Am Jesse took a powder, slicked his long hair back F C G put a cartridge in his gun and stepped outside his shack, Am F Em F saddled up his buckskin mare and rode off into town C G C Jesse with the long hair hangin' down C Am Luann fixed her makeup, straightened out her dress, F C G picked up a photograph and held it to her breast Am F Em F How could she ever love him? He never was around C G C Jesse with the long hair hangin' down
[Chorus]
F C Flesh and blood it turns to dust F C Scatters in the wind Em F C Love is all that matters in the end
[Verse 2]
C Am Sheriff Paul was sleppin', his hat off in his lap F C G When he got a package that woke him from his nap Am F Em F He unrolled a poster, couldn't help but frown C G C Jesse with the long hair hangin' down C Am They had been compadres many years before F C G Jesse saved his life one time back before the war Am F Em F Now he was the king of thieves, he wore it like a crown C G C Jesse with the long hair hangin' down
[Chorus]
F C Flesh and blood it turns to dust F C Scatters in the wind Em F C Love is all that matters in the end
[Verse 3]
C Am Mr Brown the banker hid the money in his case F C G It was time for him to leave this god forsaken place Am F Em F HIs true love loved the outlaw who hated Mr Brown C G C That was Jesse with the long hair hangin' down C Am Mr Brown had taken the land that Jesse owned F C G The banker claimed that Jesse had not repaid his loan Am F Em F Truth and lies were tangled but when the truth unwound C G C there was Jesse with the long hair hangin' down C Am Mr Brown was all alone when Luann came walking in F C G She pulled a pistol from her purse and pointed it at him Am F Em F When the door blew open she turned to look around C G C It was Jesse with the long hair hangin' down C Am Mr Brown grabbed Luann's gun and held it to her head F C G "I'll blow her to Kingdom Come" is what the banker said Am F Em F In that fateful moment Jesse stood his ground C G C Jesse with the long hair hangin' down
[Chorus]
F C Flesh and blood it turns to dust F C Scatters in the wind Em F C Love is all that matters in the end
[Verse 4]
C Am The bullet that killed Mr Brown came through the windowpane F C G It put a hole above one eye and lodged down in his brain Am F Em F He never saw a puff of smoke, no flash, no fire, no sound C G C From Jesse with the long hair hangin' down C Am Sheriff Paul was fast asleep, his hat down on his eyes, F C G when he got a letter and much to his surprise Am F Em F a picture of the sweet Luann in her wedding gown C G C and Jesse with the long hair hangin' down
[Chorus]
F C Flesh and blood it turns to dust F C Scatters in the wind Em F C Love is all that matters in the end my friend
